The third industrial revolution saw the swift spread of digital technologies, such as telephones, televisions and personal computers, to people across the globe. At this time, novelist Thomas Pynchon asked whether it was “OK to be a Luddite?”, ‘Luddite’ meaning someone who is opposed to technological progress based on a fear of mass job disruption and loss. In response, Richard Conniff, also a novelist, noted that “a better question today is whether it’s even possible. Technology is everywhere”.
